The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices contracted with the Ray Marshall Center to gather information about the progress states have made in developing additional performance measures beyond those required by federally funded programs. Under the direction of RMC Director Christopher T. King and Neil Ridley of the NGA, RMC researchers Dan O’Shea and Sarah Looney identified 10 states for in-depth interviews regarding their progress in developing and implementing additional workforce performance measures. Findings from this research will be disseminated through profiles of each state and an overview report.
